Netflix Harry and Meghan series top takeaways: Claims of "screaming" royals and racist press attacks

The second half of Netflix's documentary miniseries on Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, hit servers around the world Thursday morning. In it, the couple paint a stark picture of the animosity that grew between themselves and Harry's closest family members amid what they say was racist and defamatory coverage by the British media. All of which, they say, drove them away.

Harry says the tension — which he and Meghan blame on the rigidity and self-preservation-at-all-cost mentality of the royal family, along with the mercilessness of Britain's tabloid press — exploded in a meeting with his father, now King Charles III, and his brother Prince William shouting at him while his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II sat and looked on.

The royal family has declined to respond to the allegations in the series thus far, but it has denied Harry and Meghan's allegations of racism and said the issues raised by the couple, "particularly that of race, are concerning." Buckingham Palace has said it would address the matters privately.
